I don't have ftp capability, but do use a server.
Lately the number of jobs in the queue ahead of me
has been growing, reaching 900+.  For large files,
this delay is unacceptable to the server, and it
eventually tells me SIMTEL took too long.  
Smaller files do arrive, eventually.

Does anybody know what the problems are?
Is it just high usage?  Is it because colleges
have been in session, or will it be like this
from now on? 

Thanks,
